In 3 weeks time I will return to work after 4 months of maternity leave. To say I have mixed feelings is an understatement. On the one hand, the thought of meetings, interviews (I recruit!) and adult conversation excites me but on the other, I’ll no doubt miss my mornings in pj’s with my boy, leisurely strolls around the mall and afternoon naps! Initially the thought of returning to work overwhelmed me to the point that I avoided thinking about it, but since we found the most amazing nanny to look after Thando when I go back, and the fact that she will have been at home with me for 7 weeks prior to my return, I now feel substantially more comfortable as the day approaches.
No doubt there will be some tears on the day (more from me than him I’m sure) but it will be good to get back to “real life” and the bank balance will appreciate it I’m sure! There is only so much a girl can shop!!
